A Lengthy Amazon Streak Ends
​​​​​​​Amazon was the latest mega-cap to make a new all-time high today after experiencing a drawdown of 50% during the 2022 bear market for stocks.
Inflation, Poor Sales, And Fewer Jobs
While the index was expected to tick up to 89.9 from 89.4 in February, it instead dropped down to 88.5. That is the weakest reading since December 2012.

On a relative basis, managed care stocks underperformed the S&P 500 by 5.6 percentage points for the day.

Not only has the S&P 500 been extended versus its 50-DMA, but it has also traded overbought relative to its 200-DMA.
Equities Shine Over Bonds
Helped mainly by the massive gain since late October, the S&P 500’s one-year trailing total return through the end of March clocked in at an eye-watering 30.5%

Over the last 200 trading days, the S&P 500 is up 21%, and during that time, shares of AAPL have dropped over 6%.

While Reddit's debut places some attention on new companies, overall IPO activity remains muted.
Yen Weakness Continues
Taking a very long-term look at the yen, the roughly 152 resistance level has been in place for decades.
Homebuilder Sentiment Back To Expansion
Earlier today, the National Association of Home Builders published its March reading on homebuilder sentiment.
Rotation
Investors have been waiting for a broadening out of the rally for even longer than they’ve been pricing in (and then pricing out) rate cuts, but while breadth may still be relatively narrow, there has been a good deal of rotation recently.
Another Weak Breadth Rally
